 I was trapped in Yuma, Arizona recently at a free dump station for 3 hours because one dude was jamming up the line. There were RVers coming in from every direction and after a while people started to lose their minds so after about an hour I started filming. I'm going to tell you guys the dos and don'ts that this guy absolutely messed up so you don't end up being that guy and ways to make your dump experience not that bad and quick, quick, quick. Happy Sunday everybody. It's Robin with Creativity RV. I hope you're doing well out there. I am doing great but recently when I left Yuma, Arizona I went to the Speedway there which a lot of RVers know about because it's free and it seems like when the dump station is free people take liberty to do things maybe they wouldn't do other times like dispose of their gloves on the ground and not spray after themselves if they leak a little bit or flush out their tanks with the water while other people are waiting or just take their time and be really slow. Let me tell you why I was trapped for 3 hours. I wasn't even in line. When I first pulled in I pulled past the dump and I saw this guy in a truck camper and I saw that he was facing the wrong direction but you never know maybe his freshwater tank or something was on the other side didn't think a thing about it. I went over to the side of the parking lot which was sizable when I got there because I wanted to use the last of my water and take a final shower and then dump my tanks but then a van pulled in the other direction and this woman looked so confused and she didn't understand why he was pointing the wrong direction so she kind of went sideways and blocked people but then she turned around somebody else got behind her somebody else got behind that person and the line started to go down to the street but then two people got behind the man at the dump station the other direction because they thought that's where the line started because of the dude and pretty soon all hell broke loose. Now I was just in there chilling waiting for my hair to dry so I wasn't paying a lot of attention until I heard the first person start to yell at the dude and that's when I realized he had been there almost an hour at that point I looked outside and there were all of these RVs this lady has yelled at him this lady's gotten out and talked to him this lady from the truck yelled at him I don't know what's going on maybe he's having a problem there was a lady complaining to another lady right outside my window so I called Rover and I said what's going on is that guy broken down. Hi there I'm just curious is that guy broken down or something? No he's got a 60 gallon tank he's using a filter on to fill up. Are you kidding me? Oh my god I've been watching the drama unfold. The water at this place was slow it was potable everybody wanted to use it but still that doesn't account for the time that he took to do it I think maybe he was washing out his tanks after people had gone up to yell at him he just kind of meandered around to the other side coiled up his hose real slow and put it away took it back out coiled it again maybe he was doing it on purpose to prove a point he's still putting his stuff away oh my god I would pull over and put all my stuff away later and he's just taking his time oh my gosh what a jerk so slow this is why if she went inside to pee or something so slow they're walking slow they're going slow their hose had to be perfectly curled up they know like seven people are waiting now unbelievable this guy and I think at this point at least two or three people have gone over and had a talk with them and they still don't care oh my god he's still doing it okay right now on my video I'm at two minutes and 30 seconds and I started filming this when I saw him putting his hose away and he's still there so so far it's taking him I don't know almost three minutes oh he's backing it up it took him two and a half minutes to put away his water hose and his sewer hose that is some poor dump station etiquette oh my god this guy unbelievable I hope they see all the campers that are pulling forward now that they have blocked in here coming in the wrong direction and insisting on using a filter to fill up their water that is so slow I mean seriously they need to watch this video I was a guest personally if I'm at a dump station and anybody pulls up behind me I feel a responsibility to go quickly dumping is not that fast and listen if you can do it get a composting toilet I've had them in almost every rig I've had different brands I recommend Ogo I have a discount link for them below because then you never have to deal with this nightmare you can just go somewhere that has water I'm working on getting an Ogo in my airstream now because I have a pipe that sticks out so I actually have to have that reconfigured and then I'm gonna have an Ogo like I did in my truck camper and my fifth wheel when you have a composting toilet you only have to dump it like every five weeks if you're one person maybe every three weeks if you're two people and it doesn't smell it's like soil and it's easy all you do is pull out the bucket dump it into a bag add new compost material and you're done that's it so you don't have to deal with any of this chaos and it actually ends up paying for itself in about a year for me that's what I calculated but unfortunately I did not have that in the airstream for this trip I got trapped over there I couldn't turn around anymore and I had to wait for everybody to get through so why not I went ahead and timed about four people including myself to see how long it really takes for people to dump their tanks and I found that the time it takes changes wildly of course it depends on how big your tank is and how big your freshwater tank is if you're getting water but it really depends on if you feel a responsibility to go fast if you have all of your stuff lined up so you can do it with a quickness and you get out of other people's way when you're done yay okay guy number one took 13 minutes and 32 seconds I can't see the R pod now and I'm gonna have to shut my window again but let's go ahead and start the timer for her right now here goes RV number three this one should have some pretty big tanks and a pretty good freshwater tank if he's filling that let's see how long it takes now the difference here is that this guy in the big class a is moving with a quickness he's gotten in and out a few times but he looks like a guy that has been waiting a long time wants to get out of here or understands that there's a bunch of people waiting you know the other thing that I think is really funny about free dump stations is that people love the idea that it's free so much that they'll go way out of their way to use that dump station like I know a couple of people that drove 1720 miles to go to this dump station because it was free when they get nine miles to the gallon when they could have paid $5 to dump down the street if the potable water is there and it's slow like it was for that first guy there are plenty of water sources I went to a circle K just down the street and there was a spigot there are spigots in Arizona a lot of times just at the salt free water kiosks where you fill up some drinking water you don't have to get the water right there at the dump there's lots of other places and especially if it's slowing you down just move on and get your water somewhere else so really quick let me give you a few tips about dumping whether you're new or not that's going to make it a lot easier for you first of all have it ready to go people personally I have a bin at the back of my Jeep that makes it really easy to go I do not store my hose in the hose receptacle in the side of my airstream because I was sick of putting that end on and off that curves and it was always dripping and it always delayed me so now in that bin I have my hose I have my gloves I have a couple of bottles of water and soap because sometimes at dump stations there is not a place to wash your hands and some antibacterial wipes just in case I hope you guys found this helpful if you're the quick guy at the dump station not only is it quick for everybody else behind you but it's also quick for you and this trip and this experience has sealed it for me I'm going back to a composting toilet again the link for that is down below and I've also linked a video I did showing you installation in two of my rigs of the composting toilet and how it works I'll see you guys in two weeks with an all-new video until then everybody out there have happy travels and be free
